Hi. Thank you.

Motzilla is garbage.. Everytime I open a site, it immediately opens another window in the background or foreground with advertising "spam(?)" such as coles, et cetera, that slows down my computer. And no, I don't have my computer infected by myself. It also puts small advertising windows for games and dating sites, et cetera, on the desktop in front of the web page that I've opened and blocking the content on the page. And will not go away and has no option to delete it off the screen, only to open them. I'm sick to death of this shit. After signing in to your forum site, because there is no way to contact admin. because they hide behind their computer, there is meant to be a confirmation email sent and nothing arrives. This site was good ages ago and now it really is garbage and people want to come to auckland to sort it out. If it was Monday, I would ring you guys up and tell my views on firefox........


Thank you.

Sounds that you still got infected somehow by downloading malware.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
